You’ll be introduced to key styling elements such as fluid arm movements, body waves, hip action, and controlled head turns—all of which can be applied to any move in your Salsa repertoire. Styling Foundations:
 The first portion of each class will focus on the foundational elements of Salsa styling. We’ll teach you how to build control and fluidity in your arms, upper body, and hips, making each movement feel more expressive and polished.
